Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-Kayano 14 shoes:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with water. Gently scrub the mesh and leather areas with the soapy solution. For tough stains on the rubber sole, a melamine foam cleaner can be effective.
- Rinsing: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Do not submerge the shoes in water or machine wash, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources (like a hairdryer), which can cause materials to shrink, crack, or warp. You can stuff the shoes with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
